Have to agree with Paul the book is useless. A headache for pattern matching

just to clarify Chris...........   my comments weren't intended as a blanket criticism of the book, but rather a complaint that the reproduction of the drawings of the factory patterns are much smaller than I would like to have seen.                  Doubtless there was a good reason for this - probably that the book might have doubled in size had the author increased the scale of the drawings.

Nonetheless I wouldn't want to be without the book - I'm not aware of anything else comparable - and as far as the drawings go not helped by the fact that I have floaters on one eye which has the effect of slightly blurring images when concentrating for too long. :)

Are your salts identical to Christine's?

The images are poor and should not have been published in that form

There's a few salts amongst the pieces I referred to,boat shaped,sharp cut and I'm fairly sure on a square base.
